Has anyone heard when Lafayette will be releasing ED decisions?

Last year it was December 15. My son is there and so I get all the social media posts. Haven’t seen any announcements yet. Best of luck!

Launches today. We are RD, but I am interested in seeing what happens.

Lafayette posted that ED1 decisions are in the portal. Interesting time of day for that, usually I thought school try to release after high school hours.

Does anybody know the percentage of students who were picked up in ED two since they admitted 281 out of 550 students for ED 1

Nothing super recent but this article talks about 50-55% taken overall in ED. College sees steady increase in early decision applications – The Lafayette

I looked up last year’s common data set and it says they accepted 363 out of 833 applicants in ED. That must mean a combo of ED 1 and 2. The enrolled class is 697.
